Hi, this week I was watching Sting’s new trailer for his CD ‘If On A Winter’s Night…” and I was overcome by the amount of “space” and “being” in the film and songs. These are terms that I got from Eckhart Tolle that explain why people tend to be drawn to certain people, places, art and music.
I wrote previously about this and how these same ideas are what I tried to capture in the audio and lyrics for my vocal and acoustic guitar song “The World Will Break Apart” you can check out on my home page.
At the same time I have had a few requests for royalty free relaxation and meditation tracks that people can use for free as music for YouTube in their videos using the creative commons license. I have mainly been a vocal songwriting artist but now I am starting to enjoy creating songs that are more like peaceful soundscapes - its feels good for my spritual side and helps calm my mind! There seems to be allot of people in the world that enjoy listening to soothing music for reducing stress.
I have even been getting people asking for “brainwave relaxation” music. I had no idea what that even was, so I have looked into some products to recommend and I came across this wild site that specializes in binaural beats and isochronic tones CDs for brainwave relaxation. The 3d sounds are really rich and spacious and I have no idea how they do it.
“Autumn Boy” is a hypnotic ambient piece that has a mix of distant wailing guitar, various middle eastern and Hindi/Indian instruments and some haunting violin. It turned out to have what I would describe as a deep ancient sound. It also has some native American chanting samples.

“Ambershire” is a peaceful oriental instrumental MP3 with Japanese and Chinese flute that is very calming and great to chillout to while you listen. You could use this for meditating or in Youtube videos about buddhism, tibet, eastern philosophy and nature.
